CHGK rating bot for Telegram

Development

1. Create a virtualenv using Python 3

python3 -m venv ~/venv
source ~/venv/bin/activate

You'll need to re-activate the virtualenv each time you open a new shell. Run source ~/venv/bin/activate again. The shell prompt should indicate the environment name e.g. (venv) user@host $.

2. Install dependencies

pip install -r requirements.txt

3. Register a Telegram bot for testing using BotFather. See Creating a new bot section in the Telegram documentation. Make note of the API token.

4. Run the bot locally

python -m rating_bot -v --token YOUR-TOKEN-HERE

Alternatively you can skip step 1 and use the system-wide python. In such case run python3 and pip3.
